Interstate Commerce Bill---What j.
Thought Of II In Railroad Cir.
cieS,
tGIobe-Dsmocrat,a sd }

]
The final passage OF the interstate
commerce bill created no especial
excitement, but evoked considerable
discussion in railroad circles yaster-
day, it being universally conceded
that tho President would sign the
measure and that it would be in force
by April l, 1t is the universal opn-
ION of local traffic men that the bill
means disorganization and reorgOui-
zation MS well. The present pooling
arrangements cannot be continued
in conformity with the provisions Of
the new law, and new measures
will be adopted. That the CONNER
cial centers of the country will be the
principal sufferers is clearly demon
strated, as the railroads must pro-
tect their local traffic, which to them
will mean existence. 1t is predicted
that there will be nm immediate adj
vance in rates, when the law goes
into effect, and that tue railroads
will not suffer rs much us the pro-
ducer, Tor they will receive more
money for both local and through
business, while the producer will re.
ceive less for his products. Ship
ments of live stock from the west
viii be largely curtailel, and dressed
beef establishments will spring up
instead. In discussing the passage
of the bill yesterday, railroad oIlic-
ial said:
within two years time the pro-
ducer will be clamoring for repeal Of
the law. While it will compel the
railroads to advance rates and form
new agreements, in fact to commence
at the foundation and rebuild the
structure Of tariffs, it will also com.
pei the producer to bear his share Of
the burden, and he will be first to
complain, for be will suffer most.
This is the onl " measure OF such vast
Importance which the railroads have
not attempted to defeat in the lobby,
which is sufficient evidence of the
fact that they are willing to expert,
ment with it.

Pen POInts-..NO. 3.

Texas during the past twelve months
has been visited by many and serious
misfortunGs. Portions of it hive
seemed to be particularly unfortunate,
Suffering from drouth in the western
part has been severe, and in many
places is not yet Cbated, The lack
of plentiful fall rains has been n ser,
ious drawback. Many wells, usually
unfailng, have become very low, and
fears are entertained OF water fem
ine To a remark OF friend recent.
ly that in certain town not far dis
tant "the people were praying for
rain and perhaps we had better re-
move over there" we felt called
upon to respond "that zoe 'coald
rather bore an 'ArteSian We'll.
This in fact is the thing to do. Ma
lures course is not to be changed by
all the prayers that people, ignorant
of her laws, may utter. Reason and
science should come to the front, and
we may be sure of good results.
Aud is not every effort in the right
direction q pr0ycr-an dctice one
if carried forward in the right direc-
tion7
God gives the reason and the
strength Tor us to use, and the re-
suits will be successful or otherwise,
according to the good or poor way
in which we work. Probably por-
tons OF Texas will have to depend
upon irrigation from artesian wells
with appliances for that purpose.
Thus, making science the handmNid
Of nature, we will escape the trouble
md suffering arising from such
lrouth and failure OF crops as have
made the past year SO disastrous to
hundreds Of our people. NJ. G. B.

Mai. Donaldson and Gen. Logan.

Our friend, Mi, Donaldson, writes
Us from Kyle to correct an editorial
paragraph IN our last concerning
himself and the late Gen. Logan
We had heard the Major state some
time since that Gen. Logan served
under him in the Mexican War So
fur we were correct but it seems
erred ms TO some minor points. We
of course never thought Of intimut-
ing that Major Donaldson was not ac-
tually entitled to the rank of MAJOR,
but his promotion as we supposed
was further along in his career than
it actually was. We append the Nh
ior's explanation with other matter
of interest from his letter;
From n reference in the FREE Press

trop via LOckhlrt to this place, and
that the work should 6egin here, as
soon us possible. The committee re-
turned home and reported this pro-
position. Within two hours they
were enabled to telegraph Mr.. Hoop
or assurance that bis terms would be
complied with, and in fifteen hours,
the papers were all signed and the
contract consumnltel. A railroad
